I invested bitcoins for an amount equivalent to $5900 under promise of aggressive growth. I even received documents to sign from rightsignature after each deposit. On the website, I could see progress up to about $48,000 until June. During COVID, I started to be suspicious because I didn't see any addition on the account for a certain time. At this point I decided to withdraw the investment. Ben Krogan, the so-called account manager requested that I pay $15% commission fees before he could release the funds. I asked him to just retain his commission from the account and transfer the balance. He didn't want to. Since I was not able to pay in one installment the fees, I made an arrangement to pay half of the fees, then he would release half of the balance. I wanted to take just half of the risk. In the mean time I have filled a suit with a firm specialized in recovering cryptos.
I took a loan and transferred the equivalent of $3200 in BTC, and sent my BTC wallet address for Ben to deposit my balance. Since then, I haven't heard from him. This is when I realized that he was a scammer.
I post this to prevent you who are reading to avoid to be fooled by these types of not regulated platforms located anywhere in the world. They call from scam-like numbers. They promise a lot of things. Their website is fake, even if you see a moving balance on your account. Once you ask them for withdrawal that they cannot honor for any reason them you realize that they are fake.
Don't invest with Cryptobravos.com; don't take any call from Ben Krogan or any other name asking you to invest in cryptos, stocks, or forex, if they are not regulated in the US.
I was asked to invest initially in trading Bitcoins. i was promised that will generate profits upto $1million USD if i invest $100k and I invested. From March to July they showed me profits of $1.4 Million and said it is all liquid and can wirhdraw anytime. I took personal loan from bank also and invested. In July month they have asked me to close the account and take the withdrawal but to do that I was asked to pay a tax of $40k. If I pay tax amount then I was told that the same day will release funds to my bank account. With great difficulty I took hand loan and paid $40k, but they have scammed me and did not release funds same day as promised. I contected Steven Hills multiple times through email but there was no response at all. In July he sent one email asking me to remove negative review comment that I posted in Trust Pilot.
If I remove then only he will help me. I removed my review comment and next day he emailed that funds will reach my accoubt by end of day, but it did not happened. I contacted him multiple times through email but he did not respond at all. I literally begged him to release funds as my mother got admitted in hospital due to cardiac problem and I need funds to cover her medical expenses. But he did not respond at all. I even sent my mother picture from hospital to show him how serious it is. But still he has not responded. Finally I could not fund for my mother heart surgery and she passed away. I was completely destroyed at that time. They have killed my mother literally.
I also begged him to release funds as I have to pay school fees for my daughter but he has not responded. I was told by Steven Hills that in one month the personal loan will be paid back to bank, but he has not kept his promise. I am paying monthly EMI now. I also begged him to release funds as promised by him as I am not able to pay my home mortgage and risk of losing my home. He ignored completely and no response. suddenly he sent one email saying since it is a transfer large funds movement will take 1-2 business days and said he is promising that my funds are on the way. but it did not happened. After several follow up emails another person by name Ben Kongam called and said he is the manager of Steven Hills and I have to pay additional $10k to release the funds.
I told him this was not told to me by Steven Hills but he did not listen to me. He even blocked my account and I cannot login to check my account. I asked him to deduct $10k from proceeds and release the balance but he says it cannot be done that way. all my 15 years of life time savings are invested and i have nothing left. I have gone 10 years back in my career and savings. My family is completely destroyed. Like many families have invested and lost their life time savings. Even today i am struggling to get back my initial investments made and not profits. I am not sure if the figures showing are real ones as I was told by many that they are fake. All the reviews says that these guys are scammers and been doing this for many years. many families were destroyed and some of them even lost their lives it seems. I sincerely request for your help to prosecute these guys and bring them to justice and save people who have invested their life time earnings. even elders are not also spared. I am willing to share all the evidences and communications that they had with me. I am also willing to share all the emails and chat messages that they had with me where they had made many promises.

It all started like this-
I came across this ad on line
http://smarturl.it/trading_gm
Xsystentrader.com
Xsystem Trader.
I responded to this ad and someone called me a few minutes later and asked if i was familiar with Crypto currency trading. I answered Yes. he asked if I owned any Bitcoin, i answered yes. He proceeded to asking if i was making any money with it, i said No. he said he can show me how i can make money with it trading it for on their platform. Quickly he asked me to allow him show me by giving him access to my account with Coinbase where my Bitcoin was been hosted. i allowed him by sharing my computer screen with him using ANYDESK software. Before you know it the Bitcoin was retrieved from Coinbase to the a new account created for me on CRYPTOBRAVOS trading platform. My first question was, "will i be able to withdraw my profit and capital at any time of my desire? the answer was YES.
A trade was place on my behalf by my new so called account manager,STEVEN HILLS. he was a very pushing man and aggressive. Soon he has added a profit of $700 to my account which was only a little over $4000 as at that time. He said his trading formula was better then any one else because he never lost a trade. His system was a "No loss sytem". That by virtue of been an account manager, he has a lot of opportunity in the crypto trading open market. He lead me to a crypto website called Creptoexchange/cryto.com and showed me how there are buyer out there who are wiling to pay higher for crypto currency than the current market price and demonstrated by making a purchase and credited the profit to my account immediately and asked if i will like to withdraw as prove, i sad yes. We went through the process and withdrew to my Coinbase account and the from there to my bank account. Demonstrating that i will be able to do the same at will. Mr.Steven Hills called me every morning for the first week to trade with me as described.
Each time he keeps asking me to take my account seriously by adding additional funds. prompting me some times to go get a loan against my home or liquidate any retirement plan and invest with him.
I eventually add additional funds to the account. soon he contacted me with a deal that just arrived his desk. There are 100 Bitcoin available at whole sale for $100.000. He asked me to take advantage. i said No. I had No such money. About a week later he came with a similar proposal and i bought into to it and grew my Bitcoin account to 199 Units with a trading Balance profit on the trading platform now reflecting over $2 million.
I asked to to withdraw some money he said i could not withdraw not until 30days because the condition for been able to sell me the Bitcoin at such a low price was to allow Cryptobravos trade with the Bitcoin and make money with it also. Thant was understandable considering I got the units for very low prices. Then come another proposal from Steven Hill again, this time , because I have been asking for a withdraw of some funds, There was a Chinese investor who needs cash urgently and will sell his Bitcoin 300 units for $150.000.00, we negotiated $100.000.
He pushed and pushed me to purchase it. each time I said No. Then he said If I could make arrangement to purchase the units I will not have to wait for 30 days to be able to withdraw any money. I will automatically be qualified for a weaver and have full access all my money immediately. I came up with the $100.000.00 and acquired the 300 units. this time around my Bitcoin inits rose to 500 and as soon as the money arrived Coinbase as we usually do, I email Steven Hill, he called me and engaged me on ANYDESK and manipulated the $100k into Bitcoin within Coinbase and withdrew it. At this time my trading account with them at CRYPTOBRAVOS has swollen to $5.819.910.12.
The plan was to help me withdraw $5 million dollars as soon as the 300 Bitcoin is paid for. Steven Hill had me on hold and disappeared. All emailed put to him were never answered. He has never answered any phone call. Always asked not to call him because he was trading and will not be able to answer. His phone always sound muffled and distant.
Enters Mr.Ben. He called and said he was the CFO of the company and that the reason he has called me was to congratulate me on my trading success with them and he was calling to help me withdraw my money. This time, asking me to come up with $55.000 representing 1% fee for helping me trade. when I said to him that paying a 1% fee upfront before withdrawal was not a part of the agreement, He called me ungrateful,insulted me every kind of way and said he will close my acccount. if he did close it i dont know. after that, i knew Im in for a fight. He asked me to come up with half of the the $55k and he would allow me withdraw. Forgetting that the agreement was actually 5% commission whenever a withdrawal is made, they get to keep the 5% commission which i was always open to as agreed.
There was never a time any fee up front payment was mentioned. This is just a way to keep the scamming going. I soon discovered that this was their plan not allow any withdrawal of profit nor capital invested. They are Holding a little over $250.000.00 of my invested capital and profits of over $5 million if it actually exist. Upon additional research i discovered that there are countless of victims on line that Cryptobravos.com and Steven Hill has scammed.
I sincerely hope the FED will step in quickly and stop these guys. they are ruining peoples lives every day.
If you are victime reach out and file FBI report fast.
